Compendiously shewing the yong artist the use of every severall instrument belonging to a chyrurgion; and the vertues and qualities of all such medicines as are needfull and necessary, with the maner of compounding them, according to the most approved authors. As also the perfect cure of green wounds, either incised or contused, ulcers, fistulaes, fractures, and dislocations. To which is added the maner of making reports before a judge of assize, of any one that hath come to an untimely end. By Tho. Brugis Doctor in Physick.

the body if the ayr come forth at the wound making a certain whizzing noise if the Patient breath with great difficulty if he feel a great heavinesse or weight on or about the midriffe whereby it may be gatherered that a great quantity of bloud lyeth on the place or midriffe and so causeth him to f●el a weight or heavinesse which by little and little will be cast up by vomiting But a little after a Feaver commeth and the breath is unsavoury and stinking by reason that the putrifying bloud is turned into sanies the Patient cannot lye but on his back and he hath an often desire to vomit but if he escape death his wound will degenerate into a Fistula and at length will consume him by little and little We may know that the lungs are wounded by foming and spumous bloud comming out both at the wound and cast up by vomiting he is vexed with a shortnesse of breath and a pain in his sides We may perceive the heart to be wounded by the abundance of bloud that commeth out at the wound by the trembling of all the whole body by the faint and small pulse palenesse of the face cold sweat with often swounding coldnesse of the ex●●eam parts and sudden death When the Midriffe which the Latines call Diaphragma is wounded the Patient feeleth a great weight in that place he raveth and talketh idely he is troubled with shortnesse of wind a cough and fit of grievous paine and drawing of the entralls upwards Wherefore when all these accidents appear we may certainly pronounce that death is at hand Death appeareth suddenly by a wound of the hollow veyne or the great Artery by reason of the great and violent evacuation of bloud and spirits whereby the functions of the heart and lungs are stopped and hindred The marrow of the backbone being pierced the Patient is assaulted with a Palsie or Convulsion very suddenly and sense and motion faileth in the parts beneath it the excrements are either evacuated against the Patients will or altogether stopped the intestines putrifie and rot and death suddenly follows When the Liver is wounded much bloud commeth out at the wound and pricking pain disperseth it selfe even unto the sword like gristle which hath its scituation at the lower end of the breast bone called Sternon the bloud that falleth from thence downe into the intestines doth oftentimes infer most maligne accidents yea and most commonly death When the stomach is wounded the meat and drink come out at the wound there followeth a vomiting of pure choler then commeth sweating and coldnesse of the extreame parts and therefore we ought to prognosticate death to follow When the Milt or Spleen is wounded black and gross bloud cometh out at the woūd the patient wil be very thirsty with pain on the left side and the bloud breaks forth into the belly and there putrifying causeth most maligne and grievous accidents and oftentimes death to follow When the guts are wounded the whole body is griped and pained the excrements come out at the wound whereat also oftentimes the guts break forth with great violence When the reins or kidneys are wounded the patient will have great pain in making his urine and the bloud commeth out together therewith the pain commmeth down even unto the groyn yard and lesticles When the bladder and Ureters are wounded the pain goeth even unto the entrails the parts all about and belonging to the groyne are distended the urine is bloudy that is made and the same also oftentimes commeth out at the wound When the womb is wounded the bloud commeth out at the privities and all other accidents appeare like as when the bladder is wounded When the sinews are pricked or cut halfe asunder there is great pain in the affected place and there followeth a sudden inflammation flux abscesse Feaver Convulsion and oftentimes a gangrene or mortification of the part whereof commeth death unlesse it be speedily prevented If a Nurse through drowsinesse or negligence lies upon her infant being in bed with her and so stifles or smothers it to death which we call overlaying if the judgement and opinion of the artist be required whether it dyed by default of the Nurse or by some violent disease lurking in the body these rules following shall shew the truth of the matter If the infant were in good health before if he were not froward nor crying if his mouth and nosthrils now being dead be moystned or bedewed with a certain foame or froath if his face be not pale but of a violet or purple colour if when the body is opened the lungs be found swoln and puffed up as it were with a certain vaporous foam and all the other intrails sound it is a token that the infant was stifled smothered or strangled by some outward violence If the body or dead corps of a man be found lying in the field or house alone and it be questioned whether he were slaine by lightning or some other violent death these signes following will shew the certainty thereof For every body that is blasted or stricken with lightning doth cast forth or breath out an unwholsome stinking or sulphureous smell so that the Birds or Fowls of the aire nor dogs will not once touch it much lesse prey or feed on it the part that was stricken oftentimes sound and without any wound but if you search it well you shall find the bones under the skin to be bruised broken or shivered in pieces But if the lightning hath pierced into the body which making a wound therein according to the judgement of PLINY the wounded part is far colder than all the rest of the body For lightning driveth the most thin and fiery ayre before it and striketh it into the body with great violence by the force whereof the heat that was in the part is soon dispersed wasted and consumed Lightning doth alwayes leave some impression signe of some fire either by ustion or blacknesse for no lightning is without fire Moreover whereas all other living creatures when they are stricken with lightning fall on the contrary side only man falleth on the affected side if he be not turned with violence toward the coast or region from whence the lightning came If a man be stricken with lightning while he is asleep he will be found with eyes open contrariwise if he be stricken while he is awake his eyes will be closed as PLINNY writes Also it may be inquired in judgement whether any that is dead and wounded received these wounds alive or dead Truly the wounds that are made on a living man if he dye of them after his death will appeare red and bloudy with the sides or edges swoln or pale round about contrariwise those that are made in a dead man will be neither red bloudy swollne nor puffed up for all the faculties and functions of life in the body do cease and fall together by death so that thenceforth no spirits nor bloud
